Bindings to vte_terminal_fork_command are broken in F11 and F12 because they don't pass environment variables though to the C library. This is breaking OLPC's introductory programming activity: http://trac.sugarlabs.org/ticket/1058 Fixed by upstream commit: http://git.gnome.org/cgit/vte/commit/?id=3c22f5997c7e11f371c606520daff279d9b613e4 The patch applies perfectly to current F11 and F12 releases. Please can we include it in Fedora? (I'm happy to do the packaging, but you'd have to approve me as a packager first as I'm not yet in the proven group)
Bump. Can I take care of this for you? (pushing just as far as updates-testing)
Ping.. I'm happy to take this on myself, and I'm now also a proven packager. Just let me know. I could also push the fix to the vte-0-20 and vte-0-22 branches in GNOME git if you like.
